THE   INDIANS    OF   LAKE   TITICACA 


The   NeA\^  Travel   Field 


OUTH  AMERICA,  as  a  tourist  travel  field,  was  first  invaded 
by  Thos.  Cook  &  Son's  escorted  tour  which  circled  the  con- 
tinent in  1907.  At  that  time  the  railroad  had  not  pierced 
the  Andes,  making  the  detour  by  the  Strait  of  Magellan  a  necessity 
in  winter.  It  had  not  reached  Cuzco.  Peru,  the  Inca  capital,  and 
a  sixty-mile  stage  ride  was  taken  there.  La  Paz  could  be  ap- 
proached only  by  Lake  Titicaca.  or  by  two  days'  staging  from  the 
south.  Facilities  have  improved  since,  and  have  been  taken  advan- 
tage of  in  the  semi-annual  tours  we  have  since  announced. 
In  thus  making  it  possible  for  tourists  to  visit  these  fascinating 
regions  in  every  comfort,  and  with  no  travel-trouble,  we  feel  that 
we  arc  performing  a  public  service,  and  cooperating  with  the 
Bureau  of  American  Republics,  and  the  group  of  writers  and  pro- 
fessors who  have  been  urging  the  United  States  to  get  better 
acquainted  with  Latin-American  neighbors.  Our  first  party  received 
much  official  and  newspaper  attention,  being  greeted  as  the  advance 
guard  of  a  hoiicd-for  tourist  army,  that   lias  at  least   partially  mate-

rialized.  and  has  always  'been  welcomed.  Thousands  of  Americans 
who  "have  been  everywhere"  are  realizing  that  a  wonderful  series 
of  contrasting  countries,  tremendous  landscapes,  primitive  peoples, 
great  modern  cities,  and  enormous  trade  possibilities  lie  close  at 
hand  unvisited.  The  opening  of  the  Panama  Canal  will  make  more 
imperative  an  intimate  knowledge  of  South  American  conditions, 
such  as  only  a  personal  visit  can  give. 

We  invite  all  readers  of  this  brief  description  to  go  as  our  "pay- 
ing guests"  and  see  for  themselves  the  wonderful  regions  and 
interesting  peoples  only  hinted  at   here. 

Leaving  New  York  in  the  winter,  the  voyage  south  speedily 
brings  one  to  warm  weather  and  fair  skies.  According  to  the  line 
and  voyage,  different  islands  of  the  Bahamas,  or  the  coast  of  Cuba 
are  touched,  giving  first  glimpses  of  tropical  verdure.  The  com- 
fort  of    the    specially    designed    ships,    the    genial   warmth    and    the

novel  sights  at  each  approach  to  land  make  the  voyage  a  delight. 
On  the  west  coast,,  smooth  water  and  comfortable  temperature 
are  perpetual.  The  voyage  home  is  again  through  calm  seas  and 
fine  weather  practically  all  the  way. 

JAMAICA 

^^^r^HIS  lovely  island  has  become  a  favorite  winter  resort,  its 
§  J  climate  being  almost  perfect,  and  its  vegetation  most  luxu- 
^^^  riant.  Good  roads,  due  to  English  administration,  make 
every  delightful  spot  accessible.  Hotels  are  of  the  best.  The  Blue 
Mountains,  8,000  feet  high,  add  stateliness  to  scenery  that  would 
be  almost  too  soft  without  such  rugged  features.  The  chief  port. 
Kingston,  on  a  hill-rimmed  harbor,  will  be  found  interesting  and 
picturesque.  The  earthquake  of  1907  did  damage  to  buildings, 
but  otherwise  little  affected  the  island,  and  its  traces  have  been 
mostly  effaced.  Drives  take  one  quickly  into  the  midst  of  tropic 
groves,  sugar  and  banana  plantations  or  orange  orchards,  and 
foliage  and  fiowers  both  strange  and  fascinatingly  beautiful.  Two- 
thirds  of  the  population  are  black,  but  the  negroes  are  most  polite 
and  friendly,  and  their  ways  are  one  of  the  interesting  features  of 
a  visit  to  the  favored  isle  they  are  proud  to  call  home. 

PANAMA 

QANAAIA,  the  Canal  Zone,  Culebra  Cut,  have  become  house- 
hold words  in  America  since  Uncle  Sam  undertook  the  big 
ditch  that  had  proved  too  much  for  other  nations.  Wonders 
have  been  accomplished  there  in  engineering  and  sanitation,  deeds 
that  every  American  may  take  pride  in,  and  if  possible  should 
learn  by  i)crsonal  inspection.  Soon  ships  will  be  regularl}^  passing 
through  massive  locks  that  seem  to  have  existed  always,  along 
embankments  as  solid  as  the  hills  themselves.  It  is  far  more  inter- 
esting to  see  the  great  work  in  progress,  as  our  parties  do  in 
going  or  returning  from  the  South  American  round. 

Colon,  on  the  east  coast,  is  a  reformed  "world's  end."  the  once 
notorious  Aspinwall,  and  docs  not  long  detain  the  tourist,  who 
will  make  hoad(|uartcrs  at  the  fnic  American  Hotel  Tivoli.  in  the 
outskirts  of  ]\-inania  Citv,  with   \iow  over  the  Pacific. 


COOK'S  TOURS  TO  SOUTH   A  M  j:  RICA 

The  great  eanal  ihal  is  to  change  tlie  \vurhr>  coinuierce  will  cost 
$375,000,000  before  its  opening.  Only  actually  seeing  the  works 
can  give  an  idea  of  their  magnitude.  The  Gatun  Dam,  9,040  feet 
long,  with  its  locks,  alone  piles  up  $18,000,000,  transformed  into 
concrete  blocks  and  masonry.  The  excavating  and  dredging  ma- 
chinery, the  enormous  Culebra  Cut  that  has  caved  and  filled  many 


THE   CATHEDRAL   AT   LIMA 


times,  the  villages  of  employees,  and  the  nearly  tinished  structures, 
all   make   interesting  sights. 

Panama  City  retains  many  Spanish  features,  as  the  Plaza  and 
Cathedral,  but  years  of  American  influence  have  modernized  it. 
Old  Panama,  half-abandoned  in  jungle,  can  be  reached  by  an  ex- 
cursion in  carriage  and  on  foot. 


COOK'S  TOURS  TO  SOUTH  AMERICA 


THE  WEST  COAST 

CI  IE  west  coast  of  South  America  possesses  several  anoma- 
lies of  climate.  The  cold  Humboldt  current  and  prevailing 
winds  make  the  coast  climate  temperate  far  up  toward  the 
equator,  and  south-bound  from  Panama  only  a  few  days'  warm 
weather  is  experienced.  From  northern  Peru  to  Central  Chile,  the 
coast  is  practically  rainless.  Once  in  many  years  rain  falls,  and 
the  bare  brown  hills  suddenly  'bring  forth  vegetation.  Back  of  the 
coast  range,  a  few  thousand  feet  high,  the  higher  mountains,  run- 
ning up  to  12,000  feet,  are  often  visible. 

The  dry  climate  makes  substantial  architecture  unnecessary,  and 
the  smaller  towns  are  picturesque,  but  shabby,  collections  of  huts 
built  of  cane,  boards  and  tin. 

PERU 

QAITA  is  the  first  of  these  ports  encountered,  and  will  be 
found  quaint  and  interesting.  It  is  the  port  of  Piura,  situ- 
ated inland  in  a  fertile  valley,  which  is  the  center  of  the 
Panama  hat  industry.  Vendors  visit  the  ship,  and  bargaining  for 
hats  is  the  chief  occupation  of  passengers  in  port. 

Eten  and  Pacasmayo  are  small  ports  of  not  much  beauty,  but 
the  curious  habitations  and  isolated  lives  led  by  the  natives  excite 
interest.  These  towns  formerly  had  to  depend  for  water  on  tank 
ships  or  condensers  of  sea  water.  Artesian  wells  arc  now  being 
sunk. 

Salaverry  is  the  port  for  Trujillo,  an  important  town.  Near  by 
are  extensive  ruins  of  the  Gran  Chimu,  the  largest  city  of  ancient 
Peru.  One  great  pyramid  is  visible,  even  from  the  sea.  It  is 
estimated  that  it  contains  50.000,000  cubic  feet  and  stands  150  feet 
high. 

LIMA 

JTT  Callao,  though  a  noted  place  and  an  important  seaport,  does 
Til  not  detain  the  tourist.  Its  long,  rambling  streets  of  insignifi- 
cant houses  do  not  attract.  But  only  a  half  dozen  miles  inland 
is   the   splendid   city   of   Lima,  capital   of  Peru,  where,   in   a   famous 


C   ()  ()  K  '  S      T  ()  U  R  S     T  ()     S  ()  V  T  11      A  M  K  H  I  C   A 

hotel,  conifdrtahlc  (|ii;iru>r>  are  soon  found.  Across  the  street  is 
the  fine  cathech-al,  where,  in  a  ghiss  case,  the  mummiried  remains 
of  Pizarro.  the  founder  of  the  city,  arc  still  shown.  Across  the 
plaza  is  the  i)alace  where  he  was  killed.  San  Marco  University, 
tirst  institution  of  learning  in  America;  a  fine  zoological  park  and 
museum;  the  beautiful  carvings  of  the  Senate  House;  the  second 
largest  bull  ring  in  the  world;  seaside  resorts  of  Chorillos  and 
Barrancas,  and  the  mingling  of  old  Spanish  and  modern  architec- 
ture and  customs,  make  abundant  interesting  sights. 


THE   HIGHEST   RAILWAY 

#TT  Starting  from  Callao,  the  Oroya  Railroad  climbs  in  io6  miles 
Til  to  15.665  feet.  Two  thousand  feet  above  this  point  towers 
Mount  Aleiggs,  named  for  the  adventurous  Californian,  Henry 
INIeiggs,  who.  a  fugitive  from  his  own  countr}-.  built  this  wonderful 
railroad  that  turns  and  twists 
up  wild  gorges.  Until  a 
branch  of  the  Antofagasta 
road  iclimbed  to  a  height  of 
15.809  feet,  the  Oroya  road 
was  famous  as  the  highest  on 
earth.  It  cost  thousands  of 
lives  to  build  and  still  costs 
vast  sums  to  keep  in  repair. 
Beyond  Oroya,  an  Indian 
town  over  12,000  feet  in  the 
air,  a  branch  line  runs  to  the 
famous  silver  mines  of  Cerro 
de  Pasco  owned  b}-  Amer- 
icans. 

Vast  mineral  wealth  is  in  the 
mountains  all  about,  and  the 
railroad  is  pushing  south  to- 
ward Cuzco,  opening  up  new 
regions.

SOUTHERN  PERU 

^TT  A  short  sea  trip  along  the  now  familiar  brown  coast,  with 
^  several  stops,  carries  one  to  the  rock-bound  port  of  Mollendo, 
busy  but  desolate.  Here  the  railroad  starts  to  Arequipa  and  the 
great  plateau  regions  of  Peru  and  Bolivia,  one  of  the  most  interest- 
ing in  scenery,  antiquities  and  population  on  the  globe.  The  desert 
of  Islay  shows  great  moving  sand  crescents,  sugar  plantations 
are  seen  where  water  is  to  be  had,  and  the  road  makes  wide  sweeps 
and  circles  as  it  rises  and  affords  the  hrst  glimpses  of  the  higher 
Andes. 

AREQUIPA 

#7T  Arequipa,  quiet  and  peaceful,  bathed  in  almost  perpetual  sun- 
j\  shine,  and  having  abundant  vegetation,  is  the  pleasantest  resi- 
dence town  of  Peru,  according  to  several  Americans  who  live 
there.  Entering  its  plaza,  one  thinks  he  has  returned  to  Lima,  for 
the  cathedral  is  a  cop}-  of  the  one  there.  Monasteries  and  churches 
form  a  large  part  of  the  city  and  the  medieval  religious  air  is 
characteristic. 

On  a  hill,  a  few  miles  out,  stand  the  buildings  of  the  Harvard 
Observatory,  where  a  colony  of  cultured  Americans  are  always 
engaged  in  observing  and  photographing  the  southern  heavens 
through  the  phenomenally  clear  air.  The  hill  gives  fine  views  of 
the  volcano  El  ]\Iisti,  19.173  feet,  a  perfect  cone. 

THE  PUNA  OR  PLATEAU 

#7T  The  railway  journc}'  from  Arequipa,  via  Juliaca  to  Cuzco,  car- 
TU  rics  the  traveler  twice  to  a  height  exceeding  that  of  Pike's 
Peak,  though  the  tracks  seem  almost  on  a  level,  and  at  one 
"cumbre,"  or  highest  point,  are  in  a  vallc}-  full  of  grazing  alpaca, 
with  snow-clad  peaks  rising  7,000  feet  above  the  tracks.  Every- 
thing is  on  such  a  stupendous  scale  that  one's  ideas  have  to  read- 
just themselves  continuall>-.  Practically  all  the  "puna"  is  above 
the  timber   line. 

TTcrc,  on  the  "Roof  of  the  World."  is  the  country  of  the  Indian 
and  the  llama.  The  latter,  curious  and  beautiful  animals,  arc  con- 
stantly seen  in  long  lines,  carrying  packs  of  freight  in  conii>etition 
with    the    railroad.

CUZCO,  INCA   CAPITAL 


^TT  Cuzco,  only  recently  reached  by  the  railway,  seems  a  relic  of 
Til  the  ^licldle  Ages,  with  the  added  queerness  of  an  Indian  popu- 
lation. These  Qiiichuas  are  the  descendants  of  those  over  whom 
the  Incas  ruled.  The  lower  stories  of  many  of  the  houses  are  solid 
Inca  masonry,  the  joints  perfect  without  cement.  The  most  won- 
derful of  these  remains  belonged  to  the  Temple  of  the  Sun,  where 
Spaniards  found  untold  golden  treasures.  It  now  forms  part  of 
the  Monastery  of  San  Domingo.  The  Convent  of  La  Merced,  the 
cathedral  with  image  of  the  "God  of  Earthquakes,"  and  the  minor 
Inca  remains  that  surprise  one  at  every  turn,  help  to  make  Cuzco 
most  fascinating.  Market  tents  on  the  plaza,  tended  b}'  queerly 
dressed  Indian  women, 
make  a  different  attrac- 
tion. Quaint  Spanish 
c  o  u  r  t  y  a  r  d  s,  doorways 
carved  with  portraits  of 
the  conquerors,  remind 
one  of  the  romantic  days 
of  the  overthrow  of  the 
Inca  power. 

Ruins  of  the  palace  of 
Manco  Capac  and  the 
enormous  fortress  of  Sac- 
sahuaman  are  on  the  hill 
overlooking  the  city,  and 
afifording  one  of  the  finest 
panoramas  in  the  world. 
In  the  fortress  are  mas- 
sive stones,  fifteen  or 
twenty  feet  long,  ten  or 
fifteen  in  other  dimen- 
sions, that  were  carried 
miles  without  the  help  of 
animals  or  cranes  or  en- 
gines of  any  kind.  These  .^  ,,,  ,,  ,1,^  imhw  di

fitted  together  with  surprising  nicety,  and  the  whole  forms  the 
greatest  mass  of  cyclopean  stonework  in  America.  The  region  all 
about  Cuzco  is  full  of  wonderful  structures,  Pisac  and  Ollentay- 
tambo  being  chief  centers. 

LAKE  TITICACA 


#TT  To  reach  Bolivia  from  the  north  requires  a  fifteen-hour  voyage 
Til  on  the  highest  navigated  lake  in  the  world,  Titicaca,  12,500  feet 
above  the  sea.  and  half  as  large  as  Lake  Ontario.  Altitude  makes 
it  difficult  to  keep  up  steam,  and  the  steamers  have  never  reached 
their  supposed  normal  speed.  While  the  shores  are  low  and  full 
of  the  old  Inca  terraces  for  agriculture,  to  the  east,  in  plain  view,  is 

the  highest  chain  of 
the  Andes,  a  snowy 
range  most  majestic 
and  imposing.  Silvery 
Sorata  and  Illampu 
rise  about  25,000  feet 
above  the  sea,  and 
others  nearly  rival 
them. 

In  the  lake  are 
several  islands,  that 
of  Titicaca  being  the 
sacred  spot  of  the 
Inca  tradition.  the 
origin  of  the  royal 
family,  and  containing 
interesting  ruins. 
Groups  of  low  huts 
are  the  only  signs  of 
the  inhabitants  —  who

hardy  grains   and  small

BOLIVIA 

#1T  Landing  is  at  Guaqui,  where  the  railroad  begins  again,  con- 
^  tinning  to  La  Paz,  and  connecting  with  the  line  which  reaches 
the  sea  at  Antofagasta.  far  to  the  south.  At  this  port  are  usually 
seen  some  of  the  curious  boats,  built  of  straw,  as  wood  is  hardly 
procurable,  in   which   the   natives   navigate   the   lake. 

A  few  miles  from  Guaqui  is  Tiahuanaco,  an  Indian  village  where 
are   some  of  the  oldest  and  most   mysterious    sculptures   and   ruins

of  a  race  far  advanced  in  civilization.  Massive  doorways,  outlines 
of  enormous  buildings,  and  grotesque  images  are  characteristic 
features. 


LA    PAZ 


#]]■  The  railway  runs  to  the  rim  of  a  great  valley,  but  an  electric 
^j\  line  has  to  be  used  to  drop  passengers  and  freight  down  to 
La  Paz,  one  of  the  oddest  and  most  interesting  cities  of  the  world. 
Though  at  the  bottom  of  a  canyon  only  two  or  three  miles  wide, 
it  is  12,250  feet  above  the  sea,  and  the  rarefied  air,  blaze  of  the  sun 
and  the  chill  of  the  nights  make  climatic  conditions  most  peculiar. 

Being  the  capital,  the 
seat  of  the  parliament  and 
president,  and  a  consider- 
able garrison  of  gaudy  sol- 
diers, metropolitan  airs  are 
put  on.  in  a  miniature 
fashion.  This  contrasts 
strongly  with  the  primitive 
customs  of  the  mass  of 
population,  Aymara  In- 
dians, illiterate  and  intem- 
l)erate.  living  all  their  lives 
in  discomfort.  The  mar- 
ket conducted  by  these 
natives  is  interesting  for  its 
queer  merchandise,  vege- 
tal)les  and  methods  of  trade, 
i^estas,  during  which  the 
Indians  hold  high  carnival, 
are  of  frequent  occurrence.

but  no  stockings,  complete  the  costume.  The  men  wear  gay. 
knitted  caps  with  eartabs,  and  ponchos  over  their  shirts  and 
trousers,  the  latter  split  at  the  calves  of  the  legs  for  hill-climbing. 
The  niche  cemetery,  strings  of  pack  llamas  from  the  mines,  a 
pretty  Alameda,  the  public  buildings  and  churches  and  farming 
operations  down  the  valley  are  minor  points  of  interest. 

THE   NITRATE    REGION 

JTT  Another  railway  leads  south  over  the  puna  to  Oruro,  and  then 
Til  through  the  peculiar  nitrate  region  to  its  great  port.  Antofa- 
gasta.  The  nitrate  is  found  slightly  under  the  surface  in  great 
masses,    sometimes    several    feet    thick,    and    dozens    of    "officinas,"

run  by  German  and  English  capital,  are  dissolving  it  out  of  the 
crust  and  shipping  it  for  fertilizer  to  Europe  and  America.  The 
export  tax  pays  most  of  Chile's  government  expenses. 

Antofagasta  is  a  thriving  and  growing  town,  with  horse  cars  and 
some  metropolitan  pretensions.  Its  harbor,  like  all  the  nitrate 
ports,  contains  many  great  sailing  vessels,  rare  in  other  parts  of 
the  world. 


C 


CHILE 

HE  coast  south  of  Antofagasta  is  at  first  still  bare  and 
forbidding,  still  in  the  "zona  seca"  or  rainless  belt.  The 
stop  at  Coquimbo  reveals  a  different  and  more  fertile  region. 


fU  Valparaiso,  largely  recovered  from  the  havoc  of  the  last  earth- 
^  quake,  presents  an  imposing  appearance  as  it  climbs  in  terraces 
on  the  circular  rim  of  its  great  bay.  Fine  edifices  house  its  banks 
and  great  business  concerns.  In  the  ravines  of  the  outskirts,  in 
great  contrast,  are  the  most  tumble-down  shanties  in  locations 
entirely  too  prominent.  A  fine  park  on  the  high  grounds,  a  splen- 
did bird's-eye  view  from  the  Naval  School,  and  a  circular  drive 
on  the  rim  of  the  basin  comprise  the  sight-seeing. 

A  few  miles  distant  is  charming  Vifia  del  Mar,  a  suburban  villa 
town  with  a  noted  race  course,  which  here  replaces  the  bull  ring 
of  Peru  as  a  popular  sport  resort. 

A  half  day  on  a  train,  through  very  picturesque  scenery,  and 
Santiago,  the  splendid  capital  city  of  Chile,  is  reached.  This  city 
in  public  buildings  and  avenues  compares  with  European  cities. 

The  rocky  hill  of  Santa  Lucia,  which  rises  in  the  midst  of  the 
city,  has,  at  great  cost,  been  converted  into  one  of  the  most  elabor- 
ate public  parks,  with  grottoes,  pavilions,  fountains,  palms,  euca- 
lyptus trees,  flower  beds,  monuments,  band  stands  and  popular 
amusements.  The  Alameda  and  the  Quinta  Normal,  or  experi- 
mental garden,  are  among  the  drives.  The  race  course  is  very 
large  and  fine.  In  the  neighborhood  are  extensive  vineyards  and 
ranches  which  can  'be  visited. 

Snow-capped  mountains  in  the  distance  are  a  charming  feature 
in   the  views  about  Santiago.

THROUGH    THE   ANDES 

^TT  Leaving  Santiago,  the  railway  journey  across  the  Andes  to 
tU  Argentina  is  begun.  After  climbing  part  way  up  the  slope  of 
the  mountains,  the  night  is  usually  spent  at  Los  Andes.  The  next 
day's  ride  is  through  the  grandest  scenery  imaginable.  Snow-clad 
peaks  rise  from  20,000  to  24.000  feet  above  the  sea,  the  latter  being 
the  height  of  Aconcagua,  in  view  part  of  the  way.  Puente  del 
Inca  takes  its  name  from  a  natural  bridge  where  the  river  Mendoza 
passes  through  a  fine  gorge.  The  tunnel  which  took  so  many 
3'ears  to  pierce  is  10,380  feet  long  and  at  a  height  above  the  sea 
of  10,000  feet.  On  the  descent,  Punta  de  Vacas  is  the  former 
terminal  of  the  Argentine  road,  where  stages  used  to  be  taken 
across  to  the  Chilean  terminal. 

At  Mendoza.  amidst  vineyards,  the  narrow-gauge  train  is  left  for 
the  broad-gauge   train,  and  the  trip  across   the  great  fertile   plains

of  Argentina  is  begun.  The  entire  journey  from  Valparaiso  to 
Buenos  Aires  now  takes  only  thirty-eight  hours,  and  the  trains 
are  well-built  and  comfortable. 

BUENOS   AIRES 

JIT  The  marvelous  capital  of  Argentina,  with  a  million  and  a  quar- 
TU  ter  of  inhabitants,  surprises  every  visitor,  no  matter  how  much 
has  been  read  of  its  splendid  buildings.  The  great  wealth  of  an 
enormous  country  pours  in  here  to  be  spent  in  lavish  living,  and 
trade,  sports,  architecture  and  hotelry  have  met  ever}-  demand. 
The  Teatro  Colon  rivals  the  finest  playhouses  of  the  world  and 
offers  the  greatest  artists.  The  Jockey  Club  is  one  of  the  richest 
social  organizations,  and  is  housed  magnificently.  The  Hippo- 
drome, as  the  race  course  is  called,  is  one  of  the  best  appointed 
in  the  world.  In  boulevards,  parks,  mansions  and  public  buildings. 
Buenos  Aires  has  no  superior.  The  office  of  the  "Prensa"  news- 
paper is  an  institution  for  social  betterment,  with  library,  concert 
and  lecture  hall,  apartments  for  distinguished  guests,  educational 
classes  and  the  finest  of  newspaper  equipment.  The  Recoleta 
cemetery  shows  scores  of  interesting  and  elaborate  monuments. 
The  Cathedral  has  the  tomb  of  General  San  Martin,  the  great  hero 
of  South  American  liberation  from  Spain.  The  Church  of  San 
Domingo  guards  battle  flags  captured  from  the  British  and  others 
by  Argentina,  and  many  other  churches  are  of  interest. 

The  great  docks  and  shipping  interests,  representing  millions  of 
expense,  are  seen  in  a  trip  to  the  wool  market  of  Riachuelo.  Other 
city  sights  visited  in  drives  are  the  Palermo  and  Belgrano  suburbs, 
the  Lezama  Park,  the  great  streets  Avenida  de  Ma\'o.  Paseo  de 
Julio,  Calle  Florida,  Zoological  and  Botanical  Gardens  and  Mu- 
seums. 

On  the  La  Plata  River  is  the  waterside  resort  Le  Tigre,  where 
hundreds  of  miles  of  channels  amidst  islands  are  open  to  motor- 
boating  and  rowing,  and  villas  and  club  houses  are  everywhere. 

LA  PLATA 

JTT  A  short  railway  journey  takes  the  visitor  to  La  Plata,  a  city  laid 

j\  out  in  magnificent  style  as  a  capital  for  the  province  of  Buenos 

Aires.     It  is  too  close  to  the   great   city  to  hold   its   population,  so

has  rather  a  deserted  air,  but  its  buikHng>  and  .xiuaro  are  impos- 
ing. The  great  attraction  here  is  the  Museum  of  Natural  History 
which  contains  a  wonderful  collection  of  fossil  monsters  that  once 
inhabited  this  region. 

The  road  to  La  Plata  passes  by  many  of  the  great  "estancias," 
or  ranches,  which  have  made  the  wealth  of  the  country.

PARAGUAY 

\^^'  1 1  E  completion  of  new  railroads  makes  it  possible  for  tourists 
£  J  to  visit  easily  the  isolated  but  very  rich  and  interesting 
^^^  country  of  Paraguay,  land  of  oranges,  tobacco  and  the 
''yerba  mate,"  or  Paraguay  tea,  which  is  the  popular  drink  of 
Argentina,   Uruguay  and   Paraguay. 

About  two  days  are  required  for  the  journey  from  Buenos  Aires 
to  Asuncion,  the  capital  of  Paraguay.  Jesuit  monks  founded  the 
city  in  1583,  but  there  are  few  relics  of  its  early  days,  and  its  long 
isolation  has  made  it  backward  in  other  improvements,  now  rapidly 
being  acquired.  The  palace  of  the  tyrant  Lopez,  who  nearly  ruined 
the  country  by  wars,  is  now  the  government  building,  and  the  old 
Cabildo  houses  the  Parliament.  The  Plaza  Independencia  contains 
monuments  commemorating  events  of  national  history.  The  Guarani 
Indians  are  here  encountered,  and  conditions  of  life  are  so  easy, 
and  the  natural  food  supply  so  abundant,  that  they  will  seldom 
^vork,  and  industries  do  not  flourish. 

The  Germans  have  colonized  here,  as  in  Brazil,  and  on  beautiful 
Lake  Ipacaray  is  a  settlement  which  will  be  visited  by  a  short 
excursion. 

The  trip  back  to  Buenos  Aires  will  be  by  steamer  on  the  Parana 
River,  which  will  allow  visits  to  Corrientes,  Parana  and  Rosario, 
the  latter  the  great  wheat  shipping  port  of  Argentina.  The  grain 
is  shot  in  chutes  direct  from  railway  cars  into  ocean-going  steamers 
that  have  come  three  hundred  miles  in  fresh  water  up  the  La  Plata. 

URUGUAY 

^fc — REAVING  Buenos  Aires,  it  is  a  twelve-hour  sail  on  the  La 
I  1  Plata  River,  though  out  of  sight  of  land  mostly,  so  broad 
'^"^  is  the  river,  to  Montevideo.  After  the  Argentine  capital, 
nothing  can  surprise,  but  Uruguay's  chief  city  is  little  behind  in 
substantial  appearance,  while  the  streets  are  wider  and  cleaner. 
Fine  business  blocks,  churches  and  public  buildings  are  ranged  on 
great  squares  in  imposing  array.  The  Solis  Theater  is  a  rival  in 
size  to  that  of  Buenos  Aires,  and  the  finest  European  artists  have 
visited  it.  Electric  car  lines  lead  through  charming  suburbs  to  the 
Prado,  a  great  park,  and  to  Positos.  a  seaside  resort.  A  third 
of  a  million  people  live  in  Montevideo,  and  give  every  evidence  of 
being  proud   of  it.

BRAZIL 

eOING  north  from  Uruguay,  the  coast  of  Brazil  is  soon 
reached.  The  first  port  is  Santos,  the  greatest  cofifee-ship- 
ping  point  in  the  world.  Once  so  unhealthful  that  ships' 
crews  were  sent  up  to  Sao  Paulo  over  night,  modern  sanitation  has 
wiped  out  fever  and  made  the  place  perfectly  healthful.  Ships  land 
against  the  wharves,  and  the  phases  of  the  coffee  trade  are  easily 
followed.  The  town  fringes  the  coast,  and  there  is  a  pretty  seaside 
resort  close  by.    Vegetation  here  begins  to  put  on  tropic  appearance. 

SAO  PAULO 

fT{  A  remarkable  railway,  partly  on  the  cog  system,  climbs  the 
^  three  thousand  feet  to  San  Paulo,  metropolis  of  Southern  Brazil,

industry  has  produced  great  wealth,  which  has  been  spent  in  public 
and  private  improvements. 

Among  the  fine  avenues  is  the  Avenida  Paulista.  The  municipal 
Opera  House  is  an  exceedingly  fine  structure.  Many  of  the  private 
residences  are  surrounded  by  fine  gardens  and  palms,  and  are 
themselves   veritable   palaces. 

All  around  the  city  are  the  "fazendas,"  or  coffee  plantations, 
where,  in  the  season,  the  coffee  is  gathered  from  the  attractive 
shrubs  and  is  spread  on  wide  cement  floors  to  dry. 

It  is  a  picturesque  railway  ride  of  thirteen  hours  from  Sao  Paulo 
to  Rio  de  Janeiro.  Vegetation  grows  more  and  more  luxuriant  and 
glimpses  of  the  life  of  the  interior  are  fascinating.  Bananas  and 
bread  fruit  tre::,  pawpaws  and  other  strange  fruits  are  seen  from 
the  train.  The  highest  peak  of  Brazil,  Itatiaia,  9,000  feet,  is  passed 
on  the  way.  The  scenery  near  Palmeiras,  a  health  resort,  is  espe- 
cially beautiful. 

RIO  DE  JANEIRO 

JTT  The  world  has  nothing  to  exceed  the  picturesqueness  of  the 
TU  ,-urroundings  of  Rio  de  Janeiro.  Rugged  peaks  and  precipices, 
overhung  with  tropical  forests  and  creepers,  an  enormous  bay  full 
of  queer  rocky  islets,  some  towering  1,800  feet  high,  and  the  city 
itself,  lying  on  hills  and  in  valleys,  and  circling  along  the  coast, 
make  an  ensemble  unique  as  it  is  attractive.  The  view  from 
Corcovado,  reached  by  a  steep  mountain  railway,  sweeps  over  the 
whole,  and  is  one  of  the  most  wonderful  in  the  world.  Sumare 
and  Tijuca  are  points  in  the  mountains  giving  closer  views  of  the 
wonderful  vegetation. 

The  city  itself  has  been  transformed  in  the  last  few  years  by 
vast  municipal  improvements  and  rebuilding.  The  chief  street, 
the  Avenida  Central,  is  one  of  the  world's  finest  thoroughfares,  and 
replaces  a  rickety,  fever-stricken  quarter.  The  government,  by 
condemnation  and  resale  of  lots,  made  this  improvement  pay  for 
itself.  A  similar  new  avenue  is  being  cut  diagonally  through  the 
city.  The  Bcira-Mar  is  a  seaside  drive  on  a  magnificent  scale, 
which  leads  to  the  noted  Botanical  Gardens,  where  the  palms  are  a 
special  attraction. 

Among  the  new  structures  of  great  cost  and  beauty  are  the 
Monroe  Palace,  named  for  the  famous  "doctrine,"  and  the  National

at  the  St.  Louis  World's  Fair,  and  in  its  present  surroundings  is  a 
beautiful  object.  The  theater  is  very  large  and  richly  decorated. 
Fine  government  museums  are  filled  with  collections  illustrating 
the  wonderfully  rich  plant  and  animal  life  and  mineral  wealth  of 
the  country,  whose  extent  is  larger  than  that  of  the  United  States 
proper. 

Across  the  bay,  and  some  miles  up  in  the  Organ  JMountaihs,  lies 
Petropolis,  whore,  in  cooler  climate,  are  all  the  legations  of  foreign 
nations.  It  is  a  charming  place,  set  round  with  tropical  vegetation 
on  beautiful  hills.  Dom  Pedro's  former  palace  is  near  the  United 
States  embass}'.  In  the  hills  near  by  are  extensive  cascades,  one 
of  which   furnishes  electric  power  to   Rio. 


AVEXIDA   r.EIRA    MAR.   RIO   DE   JANEIRO 

From  Rio  de  Janeiro,  direct  ship  is  taken  for  New  York,  or  by 
special  arrangement  before  leaving  New  York,  return  may  be  made 
by  way  of  Europe  by  the  fine  ships  going  that  way. 

BAHIA 

JTT  The  last  stop  in  South  America  is  at  Bahia,  a  very  old  town, 
tU  once  the  capital.  It  is  built  partly  on  a  low  stretch  of  coast  and 
partly  on  a  high  blufif  behind,  necessitating  the  use  of  steep  roads, 
steps  and  large  elevators  to  connect  the  two  portions. 

From  the  upper  town,  electric  tramways  run  through  attractive 
suburbs  to  outlying  villages.     The  finest  ride  is   to  Rio  Vermelho, 


21 


COOK'S  TOURS  TO  SOUTH  AMERICA 

a  seaside  village,  where  fishermen  use  crude  catamarans  or  outrigger 
boats.  There  are  some  interesting  churches,  hospitals  and  a  medi- 
cal s-chool. 

Bahia  is  a  noted  diamond  market,  the  stones  coming  from  the 
interior.  A  large  part  of  the  population  is  negro,  and  the  women 
are  of  large  size  and  gorgeously  arrayed,  with  much  gold  jewelry. 
Some  negroes  are  very  rich,  and  if  a  color  line  is  drawn,  it  is  against 
the  whites. 

BARBADOS 

gW'EEK  after  leaving  Brazil,  the  steamer  touches  at  Bridge- 
town, Barbados,  the  first  English  colony  in  the  West  Indies, 
and  still  a  very  prosperous  and  populous  one.  A  drive 
passes  the  Trafalgar  Square,  the  Cathedral,  a  statue  of  Nelson,  and 
various  public  buildings  built  of  coral   rock.

THE  FARE  AND  CONDITIONS 

XT  IS.  of  course,  impossible  within  the  limits  of  this  pamphlet 
to  do  more  than  briefly  refer  to  some  of  the  more  salient 
features  of  this  unique  and  exceptional  tour.  It  has  been 
most  carefully  planned,  so  that  although  all  climates  and  altitudes 
are  included,  each  is  visited  at  a  favorable  season.  The  best  ocean 
steamships  available  are  used  for  the  conveyance  of  the  party  on 
the  sea,  while  the  extensive  railroad  journej^s  across  the  continent 
and  into  the  interior  of  the  different  countries  are  made  with  con- 
venience and  comfort.  On  shore  accommodation  is  provided  at 
the  best  available  hotels,  some  of  them  equal  to  the  finest  any- 
where. The  fare  includes  All  Traveling  Expenses  for  the  entire 
journey  as  outlined — first-class  railroad  and  steamship  tickets,  an 
unusually  liberal  program  of  carriage  drives  in  all  large  cities,  and 
many  incidental  excursions;  hotel  accommodation,  transfer  of  pas- 
sengers and  baggage,  fees  to  servants  (except  on  ocean  steam- 
ships), and,  in  short,  all   the  ordinary  expenses  of  the  tour. 

22 


COOK'S     TOURS     TO     SOUTH     AMERICA 

The  baggage  allowance  is  350  pounds  each  passenger  on  ocean 
steamers,  120  pounds  each  by  rail.  While  traveling  in  the  interior, 
baggage  must  be  reduced  to  a  minimum. 

Every  effort  will  be  made  to  berth  passengers  two  in  a  room  on 
ocean  steamers,  but  it  must  be  understood  that  this  cannot  be 
guaranteed.  Arrangements  can  usually  be  made  in  advance  for  this 
privilege,  or  for  the  exclusive  use  of  room  by  one  person,  on  pay- 
ment of  extra  fare. 

The  fare  does  not  include  fees  to  stewards  on  ocean  steamers, 
expenses  for  any  guides,  conveyances  or  sight-seeing  not  ordered 
by  the  conductor;  wines,  spirits,  table  waters,  laundry  charges,  or 
hotel  "extras." 

From  New  York  back  to  New  York,  the  party  will  be  under 
guidance  of  an  experienced  and  capable  conductor,  familiar  with 
the  countries  visited,  their  history,  topography,  institutions,  etc. 

SPECIAL  NOTICE 

#Tr  The  itinerary  and  dates  may  be  affected  by  alterations  in  the 
jU  steamboat  or  railway  service  of  the  various  countries.  Margins 
of  time  have  been  allowed  which  are  considered  sufficient  for  every 
irregularity;  and  in  any  case  of  this  kind  the  conductor  is  author- 
ized to  modify  the  program  so  as  to  meet  the  emergency.  He 
will  also  have  power  to  effect  such  slight  alterations  in  the  itinerary 
as  may  be  found  desirable  for  the  convenience  of  the  party  and  the 
proper  carrying  out  of  the  tour. 

While  anxious  to  render  all  possible  assistance  to  travelers  in 
the  transport,  care  and  registration  of  baggage.  Thos.  Cook  &  Son 
cannot  admit  responsibility  in  case  of  detention,  stray  conveyance, 
damage  to  or  loss  of  baggage,  but  passengers  can  protect  them- 
selves against  loss  by  insurance,  which  can  be  effected  at  any  of 
our  offices.  In  all  cases  of  transference  it  is  necessary  that  bag- 
gage should  be  identified  by  its  owners,  especially  on  entering 
and  leaving  hotels  and  railroad  stations;  and  wherever  baggage  is 
subject  to  customs  examinations  its  owners  must  be  present  to 
answer  for  it. 

Great  care  will  be  taken  in  the  registration  and  conveyance  of 
the  trunks  and  portmanteaus  of  the  party  while  traveling  with  the 
conductor;  but  it  must  be  distinctly  understood  that  all  small  pack-

ages,  such  as  handbags,  umbrellas,  traveling  rugs,  etc.,  remain 
entirely  under  the  control  of  the  passengers. 

In  the  event  of  Thos.  Cook  &  Son,  in  their  discretion,  deciding 
to  withdraw  the  party  on  account  of  imposition  of  quarantine  or 
any  other  cause,  the  full  amounts  paid  shall  be  returned  to  the 
members,  and  upon  the  tendering  of  the  same  the  firm  shall  be  free 
from  all  liability  in  respect  to  any  such  party  or  parties.  The  firm 
reserves  the  right  to  require  satisfactory  references  from  intending 
mem^bers,  and  to  decline  to  accept  any  individual  as  a  member  of 
the  party.  In  all  such  cases,  where  money  has  been  received,  the 
full   amount   will  be   immediately  returned. 

Thos.  Cook  &  Son  are  not  responsible  for  loss  of  time  or  money 
consequent  on  the  irregularity  of  steamboat  or  railway  service,  sick- 
ness, or  any  calamity  or  hindrance  caused  by  circumstances  over 
which  they  have  no  control;  and  should  delays  or  alterations  occur 
through  such  causes,  the  passengers  will  have  to  pay  any  additional 
expenses  for  living  and  accommodation,  in  hotels  or  on  steamers, 
which  may  be  incurred  beyond  the  specified  period. 

Thos.  Cook  &  Son  give  notice  that  the  arrangements  shown  in 
this  program  are  made  b}'  them  in  their  capacitj-  as  agents  only. 
All  tickets  for  conveyance  by  rail,  steamboat,  boat,  coach,  carriage, 
diligence,  or  car  over  advertised  routes  are  issued  by  them  as 
agents  for  the  companies  or  proprietors  advertising  such  routes. 
In  all  other  cases  the  arrangements  are  made  by  them  as  agents 
for  the  passengers.  Thos.  Cook  &  Son  cannot,  therefore,  accept 
liability  for  any  loss,  accident,  delay  or  irregularity  which  maj' 
occur  or  be  occasioned  through  the  negligence  or  default  of  any 
company  or  person  concerned  in  the  carrying  out  of  their  arrange-
